Hartpury Festival of Dressage 2009
Thursday, April 16, 2009
Set amongst the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside, the Hartpury Festival of Dressage will deliver five days of outstanding equestrian sport from 15th-19th July, including an FEI CDI***, an FEI CPEDI*** and, new for this year, a Shearwater Young Dressage Horse Championship.
Hartpury provides a fabulous setting for this most powerful and elegant of sports. Spectators and competitors alike can soak up the atmosphere of the event from the tiered seating overlooking both the outdoor and the magnificent International Indoor Arena Complex.
Following last years ‘sell-out’ Gala, the highlight of the week will once again be the Saturday Gala Evening where spectators will be treated to an outstanding programme of dressage competition to include the International FEI CDI *** Grand Prix to Music Freestyle, the Shearwater Young Dressage Horse Championships and the BYRDS A Squad Final; an enthralling acrobatic trapeze performance by the world renowned Circomedia performers and a Masterclass hosted by the biggest names in the sport - Carl Hester, Stephen Clarke and Christoph Hess will round-off what promises to be a night to remember.
Spectators can choose to view the Gala Evening from a reserved grandstand seat or enjoy the VIP treatment with our ‘Dressage Gala’ package. This includes a champagne reception and a superb three course dinner.
Whether you are a potential competitor, a fan of the sport or have no idea what dressage is about but fancy experiencing something completely different, the Hartpury Festival of Dressage promises to offer a memorable equestrian experience.
